Tummy & Love Handles
A firm, slim waist is a nearly universal mark of an attractive figure for men and women alike. In 2007 a study published by scientists at the University of Texas at Austin and Harvard University analyzed hundreds of pieces of centuries of European and Asian literature and found that a "lovely waist" on a woman was revered more than breasts, buttocks or thighs. The authors suggest that the universal attractiveness of the slender waist is not just a fad, but a sign of strong health and fertility that men are instinctively attracted to. And a finely chiseled male mid-section has always been a sign of youth, strength and vigor.
So it's no surprise that the most common area we are asked to address is the tummy and love handles. Well toned abdominal muscles not only form a beautiful figure, they create a strong core - the support structure of the lower back and spine.
There are four layers of muscles that shape the tummy and sides. The outermost layer - the rectus abdominus - runs down the center of the abdomen from the sternum to the pubic bone. Each side of this muscle is divided into eight sections. When the abdomen is toned and lean, especially in me, three of these divisions can be sometimes be seen on each side as a "six-pack." Men more commonly want to achieve a six-pack while most women simply want a smoother, flatter tummy.
The other layers of muscle that support the tummy and sides are the external obliques, the internal obliques and the transverse abdominus
Weakness in different areas of the abdominal musculature results in different problems with the figure. For example, the often dreaded lower abdominal "pouch" is typically caused by weakness in the lower sections of the rectus abdominus. EvaSlim's microcurrent treatment can be modulated to address the superficial, middle and deep muscle layers to specifically tone and shape the figure. To create a firmer mid-section we assess the clients specific situation and work with the normal alignment of muscle fibers in order to get a completely natural looking result. With EvaSlim you get both a slimmer figure and a stronger, healthier core.
